1947 Map of Ash Fork
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Ash Fork serves as the primary hub for this mid-century portrait of northern Arizona's high country, situated at the junction of the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe railroad and the early regional road network. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the Kaibab National Forest and the Prescott National Forest, where the county line between Yavapai and Coconino counties cuts across diverse terrain. The mapping reveals a sparse but strategic cattle and rail economy, marked by isolated outposts like Quarter Circle XX Ranch and Evans Ranch. Notable for its water management in an arid climate, the sheet identifies numerous named stock tanks and engineered structures such as Irishman Dam and Meath Dam. These features, alongside the telephone line and small sidings like Wood Spur and McLellan, illustrate the infrastructure required to support life and commerce along the rail corridor.
